Hi again TIPsters
On another subject - same class of 150 students - The Family and Society
-
Students write a one page action letter to a company, corporation,
non-profit, school or whatever, offering support or suggestions
regarding that organizations policies that effect families. For
example, corporate sponsored childcare, family leave policies, travel,
etc. I have encouraged the students to write to an organization they
would like to work for so that they have established some contact they
can later use when looking for employment. Of course they always say,
"Do we have to mail it?" I have said no, although I would like for them
to and we could use answers they get in class discussions. OK - here is
my quandary:
What are the ethics of asking students to mail the letter for a grade -
what adverse consequences could happen for the students? This is a
lower division class - students who aren't always tactful and their
grammar is sometimes a nightmare. - Perhaps that will be part of the
assignment.
Any thoughts?
OH - and in your replies? Please no comments about MY tact and grammar?
